[Tradjazz] Groundhog Band

[DeWitt Peterson]

Hi Bruce:

It is a long way home, so I left as soon as I took care of "business" with 
Bruce Gast. It is 80 miles from home  (Moorestown) to MorristownI did buy 
one of your CDs.
I plan to come to Fred's Farm April 22. We have Bria and Jim here April 20. 
In November I drove down Warbasse Junction Road as my daughter and I were 
touring Sussex County.

DeWitt Peterson
